SWEEP!

Yes, the Canucks swept the Blues in round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! What a wonderful feeling to see your team play so well.  I am NOT a bandwagon fan.  I have been a Canucks fan for as long as I can remember.  Being born and raised in Vancouver, the Canucks are my team, my boys.  And my boys won!  The challenge I face living here in Paris is that the games are at ungodly hours.  Well they start fine, like 1 or 2am but they go on for 3+hours.  This means I don't sleep till 5 or 6am.  Thankfully they won in 4 which means they're off for 10 days which means I get to rest for at least the next 10 days.  And my friends will be happy since I won't be tweeting about the game for the next week and a half!  I told them sorry but it's the playoffs and I LOVE my team!  So they'll just have to put up with my twitter updates about the #Canucks for a while!  So happy it's playoff time! It really doesn't get any better than playoff hockey!

In The Metro

There's one metro station that has this long people mover thing which I love!  We were on it the other night and I took video.  I'm not in the video but you can hear my voice so that counts!

Video includes Ashley, Amy, Leanne, Jenn, Megan, Kasey & my voice!

Protest in Paris

Today as I was out around the Montparnasse area I witnessed my first ever French Protest!  This one however was different than the usual ones you hear about.  Usually you hear about the French protesting job wages or something like that.  This one was about genocide in Sri Lanka.  I couldn't understand what they were chanting but they were loud and they had signs with some horrific images on them.  The line of protesters went on and on.  They were marching down the street where I was waiting for the bus and since the bus wasn't coming anytime soon I decided to snap some photos and I took a video of the protest.  

A few more pictures from Paris

This whole display is made out of chocolate!!

We had a picnic on the Champ de Mars (that's what the grass area by the Eiffel Tower is called in case you were wondering)

Bonjour!
